Two ATI cards, different genus, diff drivers. Will it work? gang this actually has to do with a slightly older generation HP sr2170nx, which has embedded ATI x1100 series vid parts, and has PCI Express x16 graphics slot. when a ati 5450-based card is added into the system, no worky.
I'm just wondering if I need to "uninstall" and/or disable the onboard AND remove the embedded device's drivers?
anyone know? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP DC7600, HP DC7600[2], HP DC7100, Samsung NC10 OS Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit, Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, Windows XP Home SP3 CPU Pentium 4 3.2GHz, Pentium 4 3.4GHz 64bit, Atom, Motherboard Dunno Memory 4GB matched, 1GB, 2.5GB, 4.0 GB Graphics Card Geforce 8400 GS and others Sound Card RealteK ALC260 and others Monitor(s) Displays Asus HD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Cooling We Be Cool Hard Drives WD Caviar 640gb SATA |

You're going to have to uninstall the drivers for and disable in the bios the onboard video, as it uses a different driver model than the HD 5450. For why, Mixing it up Geforce GTX 260 and a Geforce FX 5500 Link me a PCI ATI card that works with Win7 64 and available on amazon
Basically the driver for the onboard is stopping the driver for the card to work. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Me OS Win 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Phenom II x4 955 @ 4 GHz.
